More About Mrs. Langtry's Divorce.

There is a very excellent authority
for the report that Mrs. Langtry's di-
vorce is only a question of a very short
time. San Francisco is rIyaling New
port as a divorce colony for New York
malcontents. In the first place 1t is
very easy to obtain, and in the second
the law there about recording it, is
such that one can be free for months
before the public need necessarily be
taken into ones confidence. Mrs
Langtry resided there the required
length of time and declared herself a
citizen, and before a great while she
Will be free of the husband who seems
to have remained persistently obscure
despite the notoriety of his wife. 1t is
a curious fact that no one knows much
about Mr.. Langtry, who or what he is,
or how he regards the present situa-
ton. The same authority that voucheS
for the fact of Mrs. Langtry's speedy
deliyerance from the matrimonial YOKE,
adds that she will Immediately resume
it under another name. 1t does not
require any very great amount OF acu-
men to guess what the name engraved
on that new yoke will be. The only
reason Mrs. Langtry has deferred a
divorce for so long is that her hus-
bands surname was too pretty and
agreed so well with her own. beside
being a very valuable trade mark, as If
were. that she besitated to relinquish
the only thing her husband ever gave
her that she valued.

Nous. Jansen, the French astrono-
mer, has returned to Paris from his
recent expedition to Caroline Island to
observe the eclipse of the sun. In his
report to the academy of Sciences he
has expressed the opinion, as the result
of his observations, that the region
alb Jut the sun is filed with material
''almost orpuscular" which reflects the
suns light. By this, we suppose he
means minute particles Of concrete
matter.

burning thirst; took away the appetite for
liquor; made his nerves steady; and he has

Selling His Boots for Gin.

There are two classes of drinking men /;
those who could stop. but won't. and those
who would stop but can't. There are those
who drink to make them "feel good" and
then there are others who can say with the
drunkard, II drink to drown hello If
those who stand at the beginning of the
road would look to the end of it, they
would start back with shudder. But
alas wine is a deceiver, and madness is
in their hearts," and they trifle with the
serpent until his fangs have poisoned the
streams of life. and they are helpless in
his horrible coils.
The following incident shows how all
this ends-but how few will heed the
warning!
One wintrv afternoon, man, trembling
and unstrung, entered tavern in New
Hampshire. carrying a small package OF
clothing. Going to the bar he said =
Landlord. am burning. Give me
good glass of GIN"
The landlord pointed to line of chalk
marks and said -
John, you see the old score; not an
other drop until that is paid"
The poor wretch glared fiercely at the
man behind the bar.
Landlord, you don't mean that. Yor
have got nv farm, you have got my
horses, you have got my tools. All l have
left in the world is this little bundle Of
clothes. Please, landlord, give me tol
them just one glass of GIN"
II don't want your old Clothes calm
ly answered the man. PAY the Old score
| first"
The drunkard staggered back. A gen
teman then said:
"What will you give me for enough te
buv two glasses of gin ? see you have s
good pair of boots on your feet. Will yor
give me your boots for the ten cents?"
The miserable wretch hesitated for s
moment, then said:
"Stranger, if | give you the boots
must 90 out in the snow barefOoted. If
give you the boots must freeze to death
if don't give them to you, | shall burr
to death. Stranger. it is harder to burr
to death than to freeze to death. Give me
the gin; yoI may have the boots ?"
He sat down and began to draw then
off. The gentleman did not, however. in
tend to take them, but he was testing the
strength OF the terrible appetite. Other,
